Post-Primary CT Program

Curriculum

The Post-Primary CT Certificate Program curriculum is designed for students
to attend classes without interruption in semesters as listed below. Courses
are all online or hybrid in format (meaning attending a Friday afternoon/Saturday/Sunday
weekend of course work at the beginning and at the end of the semester
with remaining course content and assignments done online). Clinical courses
are only held in the fall semester and account for several different shift
variations as requested, but with all meeting the total clinical hours
requirement while not exceeding 10 hours per day or 40 hours per week.
Clinical courses will be performed at up to 4 clinical education settings
as needed to gain the correct number of clinical competencies needed for
meeting minimum eligibility requirements of the ARRT Exam in Computed
Tomography.

All courses must be completed with a C or better and with an overall and
semester GPA of 2.5 or better. If courses are taken multiple times, the
attempt with the highest grade will be counted. All courses are given
in a hybrid or online format. Clinical courses must be completed within
the allowable approved current Clinical Educational Settings used by the
SORT’s Radiography program or a Memorandum of Understanding will
be required from the clinical facility for completion of clinical requirements.
See Program Director for clarification if needed.

Applicants to the program will only be considered if they meet the eligibility
requirements and program prerequisites prior to admission. The only preference
given for applicants is for being a prior BRG School of Radiologic Technology
graduate. All applicants, regardless of preference, must meet the requirements
below to be considered:

Hold a current LA State LSRTBE License - unrestricted and in good standing.
(Must be maintained for length of program.)

Hold an ARRT Registration - Radiography as Primary Certification - unrestricted
and in good standing. (Must be maintained for the length of the program.)

Provide documentation of Associate’s Degree or higher for applicants
who graduated from their JRCERT-Accredited radiography program following
January 2014. (Applicants must document certificate completion or higher
from any JRCERT-Accredited program prior to January 2014.) Official Transcripts
for the Educational Institution are required for documentation.

Provide documentation of current BLS-Healthcare providers’ CPR certification.
(May be renewed during program with BRG.)

Certification

The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) requires documentation
of successful completion of an Associate’s Degree in addition to
documentation of successful completion of our Professional Certificate
Program in order to be eligible for National ARRT Registry/Certification
testing. At this time, it is our understanding that those seeking Post-Primary
Certification in other modalities will also be required to show proof
of a minimum Associate’s Degree for graduates following January
2014. Those who graduated prior to January 2014 may not be required to
demonstrate the same degree requirements, but our program will be held
to the current ARRT as defined on the website at the time of application
for additional certification testing if it changes during the course of
instruction. It is important that those students do any necessary eligibility
checking for current regulations prior to beginning this program.

Graduates qualify for the Post-Primary CT Examination through the ARRT
and are also eligible to apply for a Radiologic Technology License through
the Louisiana State Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners.
